Analysis of I am a butterfly
Meshack Bwoyele Keya 1960 (Vihiga)
I am a butterfly
Hovering around flowers
Am in search
In search of pollen so sweet
Look at my colours
So bright and beautiful
Am an awesome creature
Enjoying life fully
I fear small children
They Chase and catch me
They put me in prison
Sometimes I die
